LAS VEGAS, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Players Network (OTC Bulletin Board: PNTV), the first and only Interactive TV Network for the gaming industry, today announced the launch of PlayersNetwork.com, the Company's new Gaming Portal and E-Commerce Web site. Currently in the preview stage, playersnetwork.com is a full service, gaming information, e-commerce and interactive web site.
Players Network will be combining their Interactive TV Network with print information, advertising, e-commerce and affiliate information. When fully operational, PlayersNetwork.com will include instructional videos from Players Network's extensive library both on a streaming full motion video basis and on-demand. The massive Web site includes: Tourism and Travel, Sports and Racebook, Players General Store, Gaming Guide, Entertainment and Events, Players Golf Guide, City Directories, Players Network Affiliates, Web Events and Company Information directories.
With PlayersNetwork.com, the Company has combined their Interactive TV format with print, radio and Internet to form a complete multimedia location on the Web. Affiliate hotels of the Players Network TV network will receive advertising and information services on PlayersNetwork.com. Live Webcasts will be held including live gaming stock information from Alan Woinski, President of Casino Journal Publishing Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CJPG) and editor of The Gaming Industry Weekly Report and Gaming Industry Daily Report, the top gaming stock newsletters in the world, produced and distributed by CJPG. Also expected in the future are live Webcasts which will show such events as casino openings, gaming tournaments, gaming trade shows, live chats with gaming experts, handicappers, entertainers and other newsworthy personalities.
Commenting on the launch, Players Network President, Mark Bradley said, "Many have wondered why Players Network has been so quiet the past few months. We have been busy re-structuring the Company into a full media network. While our ultimate goal is to convert Players Network into a nationwide cable TV channel, we have an opportunity to reach a larger audience on the Internet. With PlayersNetwork.com, we get a chance to utilize our extensive instructional programming for the casino industry, our entertainment and news segments along with information and video services for our affiliate hotels. In addition, we expect to have a strong revenue stream from the e-commerce part of the Web site and the advertising revenue we expect to generate. We expect PlayersNetwork.com to not only increase our advertising revenues as we can offer more media for companies to advertise on, but also increase the number of affiliate hotels we have on the network due to the additional services we can offer. We expect to begin announcing new alliances, contracts and agreements at a rapid pace in the future."
